While fandom continues to grow in England, and the games are well attended, there are also many well-founded concerns about the travel and extreme time zone changes for west coast teams – of which there are three next season.

Not only do the Raiders, Seahawks and Chargers all have to deal with an eight-hour time difference, two of those teams lose a home game in the process. It’s a disadvantage that’s not insignificant, and many American fans expressed their frustration on Twitter.

Explain the “awesome” part? Two West Coast teams traveling that far for what reason? 1:00 game in Oakland with easy travel for #Seahawks fans seems like a far better option. Is Tottenham playing a regular season game in Seattle? https://t.co/NLLn7ls91J

The other wild card is will the players association agree to it. Going from west coast to London is a huge time change, and players are already on record not wanting to have to travel that far. Doesn't make financial sense for a league losing US viewers at rate of 10% a year

There were also plenty of fans from across the pond who are really excited about the games and the fact that so many decent teams were chosen to compete in London. Hopefully the NFL works out some of the more logistical issues for west coast teams so that they have an easier transition with so much travel in the middle of the season.
